Myles Kennedy On Singing, Influences, and Playing Guitar

Myles is a class act. I know someone who was on tour with him. He told me that Myles is so kind that he spent weeks trying to figure out what his angle was, waiting for him to reveal who he really is. He said he finally had to accept that’s just who Myles really is-the most genuinely kind and humble person he’s ever met.

[@come2life85]

Myles is so humble he does not even mention Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones flew him out to jam. He did sing with them for a dress rehearsal type thing for a possible tour to replace Plant ( who did not want to tour) after the UK reunion show with Jason on drums.

Well as a music lover tinnitus sounds like a blessing when I know being deaf is a thing I absolutely dread. Not to belittle having tinnitus, more to give a silver lining type thinking. You can still hear the music and therefore enjoy it in a familiar way right? If you're deaf, say goodbye to that. Also no shade on deaf people. You can still enjoy music but just not the same way. Point is, joy is always present, you merely have to be open to it!

The modesty of this man is astounding. Especially considering that he's one of the best vocalists of our time. Even though he's older, he still has the power and range. Listen to his rendition of Words Darker Than Their Wings live at the Royal Albert Hall. It's really awesome!

[@alext2566]

I like Myles' low to mid range singing. I really am not a fan of his higher stuff though, it sounds too boyish and thin and detracts from the emotionality of the music big time IMO. Just a personal preference of course. Of course he's an amazing guitarist and songwriter, there's no debating that.

[@GizzyDillespee]

@@alext2566 I'm not the biggest fan of the strident vocals either. I love his softer vocals, especially the lows and mids. I probably don't have representative or typical taste in music, though. EDIT: Listening closer, I think maybe it's partly because of the pitch instability that I prefer the softer singing, compared to the louder parts. I told you I was a weirdo. It's more organic and vulnerable vs sheer hard edge, so I guess I prefer the songs that call for the more vulnerable side. Cobain was really good at the confluence of vulnerability and power. Anyway. Great musician.

He's not that old and he still has time lol! But he definitely looks older since the pandemic but who honestly doesn't?

[@sethrenville798]

Myles Kennedy is one of, if not the best singers in the music industry today. His God-given instrument is so amazing. This is why he has recorded so many amazing songs and is in some of the greatest bands in the world today like Alter Bridge and Slash and the Conspirators. His solo career is yet again another demonstration of his amazing talents as a singer and guitarist. He is very humble as many of the truly greats are.

Alter Bridge at the Royal Albert Hall with the Parallax Orchestra is the best show I have ever seen just wish I had been there in person. When Myles hit the note in Words Darker Than Their Wings it sent shivers through my body. Absolutely unreal.

I love the fact, that underplays how great of a guitar player he is. He plays lots of cool guitar parts in Alter Bridge, like the first solo on "Blackbird" or that amazing spanish guitar intro on "Fortress".

What a joy to watch such a talented guy speak about himself and his limitations with such humility. That's what being great is.

Great interview Rick. I highly recommend watching Alterbridge live in the Royal Albert Hall from a few years ago...utterly amazing (can buy on DVD) and shows just how versatile a singer he is. Should be in your main channel imo. We need guys like Myles to be known much wider than they are.

[@scottakam]

I agree, should have been on the main channel. Especially when he performed 2 songs live. I think that's a first for Rick.

I saw Myles & Slash in 2017 opening up for Aerosmith best concert I’ve ever been to, Slash is the reason i played guitar and Myles is why I write. Thank you Rick, you are truly too good for this world for the interviews and knowledge you put out.I literally watch your videos daily, your theory book is amazing.

So, I've never heard the name Myles Kennedy before, and today I was listening to a Disturbed version of Sounds of Silence. Myles performed a duet with David Draiman, and he truly impressed me to the point that I had to go and look him up. Thank you Rick Beato for introducing him to the world.

How’s your journey going? It was me about 3 years ago or so. Discovered him and his voice from Slash. Now AlterBridge is by far my favorite band - of any decade…and I grew up with 60’s 70’s 80’s and 90’s rock and metal.

[@Elpuma1374]

@@RB-oc7ti, My journey is going well thus far, thank you for asking. Finding solace and entertainment on this channel has enriched my view of life and music in wonderful ways. I grew up about the same time frame you stated and I am expanding my music listening journey by learning other languages as well. Rock in English, however, was (is) my fav since a very young age. Classical music is also very important in my life. Greetings from Méjico.

Best Alter Bridge album is Fortress. Their live at Royal Albert hall with Parallax Orchestra is phenomenal too.

[@pointermom7641]

That’s how I found him

[@arnelrubiano5201]

If I'll born again, I want that voice. Myles Kennedy is so awesome!!!!

[@LongDogRacing]

Its guests and interviews like this that set you apart from the rest, Rick. Keep it up!

[@youKnowWho3311]

Myles has an exceptional voice. One of those that can hardly be duped.

[@TavaresProject]

Myles Kennedy is without a doubt my favorite singer of the modern era... Extremely inspiring and helped me without knowing it with my own singing.

[@agatzebluz]

Man, this guy is the real deal. And so modest.

[@ameyasaraf8381]

This man has the voice of an angel, always grateful I discovered Alter Bridge!
